Please dont forget to change your FB profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood ... The goal? Not to see a human face on FB until Monday, Dec.6th! Join The Fight Against Child Abuse!! Copy and paste to your status and invite your friends to do the same

First, it was Pokemon profile picture month. This has been an internet tradition for the past few years.
Second, people branched it out to other cartoons.
Third, someone wanted to do some activist stuff without actually doing activist stuff, so they said it had to do with stopping child abuse. I'm sure it was with good intent.
Finally, someone's now made a joke in retaliation saying that it was actually perpetrated by paedophiles to creep on kids or something.
---
Either way, it doesn't really do anything to fight child abuse.

Yeah, Cortney and I went with Pokemon Profile Picture Month. Then I started seeing this child abuse stuff. I agree... it doesn't do much. I mean, raise awareness? We know plenty of children are abused. Those of us who feel strongly about it do something that, you know, matters. I actually work with children on their behaviors for a living (many of these children were abused at some point). I don't see how the red ranger or Buzz Lightyear or Dexter or Rocko or Spongebob help with this.

I saw an article on the news about how this is a ploy to make it easier for pedophiles to get children to accept their friend requests, and that the cause is just a cover. I was all like

Yes, I have facebook. If you can find me - I probably won't accept the request - because I'm a jerk with trust issues who has gotten hacked too many times.

Congratulations! Your prize is: me still not accepting the friend request - because I already said I wasn't gonna.
It's not you, it's me. I reserve it for people I know personally, whose face I can touch.

I know it's easy to find facebook profiles - that's why I don't accept anybody as a friend unless i can touch their face.
It's also why I have minimal content available for the masses to be able to see

You probably don't have many friends if you go around touching their faces.
